Hyperthyroidism is due to excess production of Thyroid hormone from of Thyroid Gland due to various reasons. Actual treatment depends on cause of Hyperthyroidism. Graves disease , the commonest cause of Hyperthyroidism is treated by Anti Thyroid drugs and radio iodine therapy whereas Solitary toxic Nodule or Toxic Multi Nodular Goitre, surgery is the better option. Occasionally Solitary toxic nodule is treated by Radioactive iodine. Anti Thyroid Drugs are oral medication to be taken on a daily basis once or twice a day. Radio Iodine is a treatment in capsule form usually given once , however in some individuals this is repeated again. Surgery involves removing the portion of Thyroid or Thyroid gland itself. Hyperthyroidism is accompanied with weight loss in more than 60 to 70 % of patients lose weight. Weight Loss due to Hyperthyroidism can be resolved by treating the thyroid level imbalance.

I'm 22. In October 2021 I tested FT4 , TSH and various test and doctor told me I have Hyperthyroidism and it was at 7 . I am taking Carbizol and Indever from October continuously. But every month I go for follow up with these blood tests. And it's sometimes 0 , sometimes 2 and sometimes 4 . Doctor told me he will give me RAI that two drops . And other doctor told me maybe it can turn to Hypo later in my future . I went for the other doctor with my tests and prescriptions for cross checking that's it. And I want to know that Will RAI cause any fertility issues in my future ? I'm not married .I'm an unmarried girl. I'm 5 feet and maybe 56 kg wieght . Mam I'm very worried about this treatment . Can you assure is it safe and it will not be harmful even having kids in future ?
